LASER COMPONENTS offers digital laser drivers with a microcontroller for selected laser modules in the FLEXPOINT series. The module is connected via RS-232 or USB and can be used for digital control and monitoring. For example, the user can program important operational settings such as output power, trigger, pulsation, and modulation. Monitoring functions include system uptime, module temperature, laser diode current, and much more.
These parameters can be used to track the aging process of the laser module to prevent downtime through proactive maintenance. In addition, the use of a microcontroller guarantees stable output power, as well as particularly good linearity between the control voltage and the analog output power.
